"What is this?" Darwin asked, somewhat puzzled.
"A very cute kitten!" Chicago exclaimed, "Uncle, do you have kittens at home? Can you help me take care of it?""Won't your mom and dad let you keep a pet?" Darwin inquired.Chicago shook her head, "Charles is not well, we can't have furry animals at home, but I don't want the kitten to become a stray, Uncle..."Chicago looked up with big eyes brimming with tears, giving him a pitiable gaze: "Could you consider adopting a kitten? I'll give all my allowance to Uncle, to buy little dried fish for the kitten to eat."Darwin smiled helplessly."I can take care of this little cat. However, Chicago, you must promise me that you won't leave home without telling anyone like you did today." he said, his tone slightly stern.Chicago nodded, "I won't do it again."Darwin glanced at the kitten. Scrawny and nearly bald, it looked decidedly unhealthy.At that moment, a text message from Charles came through."Chicago, did you remember everything I told you?" Darwin crouched in front of Chicago, straightened her collar and hair."Mhm." Chicago nodded reluctantly, "Uncle, will you visit the kitten every day?""Of course." Darwin nodded, "I'll also take photos and videos to send to your brother for you to see.""You're so kind." Chicago hugged Darwin, "Thank you, Uncle."Darwin gently patted her back: "Be good, go ahead, your brother is waiting.""Goodbye, Uncle." Chicago mumbled."I really want to take Uncle home" thought Chicago.Wendy held Chicago in her arms.Chicago rested her head on her shoulder, facing Darwin, gazing at him longingly.When they reached the nanny car, the door was opened, and Chicago was placed in the safety seat by the door, her view was obstructed.She tried to peek her head out to see.Then, her brother's voice sounded beside her, "Chicago."Chicago timidly looked over."Do you know that you almost scared Wendy
The people quickly shut up.Miss Ford glanced at them.She was previously in sales and did very well.When Tony Potter transferred to the energy company, she, too, was promoted to the position of Vice President of Sales last year due to her outstanding performance.Her relationship with Fiona hadn't been particularly friendly at the beginning, but years had passed.She had always admired Fiona's abilities and regretted that she died young in a plane crash.Over the years, watching Lilian step over what Fiona left behind to become Solomon's Vice President and maintaining an ambiguous relationship with Darwin made Miss Ford very upset.She prided herself on being a good judge of character.Lilian appeared congenial, but Miss Ford saw through her ruse, she would stoop to anything to close a deal, even poaching resources from her colleagues.Miss Ford was certain that this woman was not a good person! She couldn't hold a candle to Fiona."That chi
Lilian's blood seemed to freeze when she saw Chelsea's name.So, had Darwin seen her?This question, heavy like a mountain, came crushing down on her.Soon, Lilian got her answer.On the guest list, there were people Lilian knew. She made a call to one of them under the pretext of discussing business, but eventually, she brought up the golden wedding celebration of the White family."I was actually planning to attend that day too, but some last-minute work came up, so Darwin went by himself," Lilian told the other person.Upon hearing this, they chuckled, "Miss Robbins, you missed quite a drama."Lilian's heart skipped a beat.The voice on the phone continued, "The White couple has always been very dignified, but at their golden wedding celebration, their own granddaughter, out of jealousy, decided to pick a fight with Miss Rhoads from the Rhoads family, and the party ended in discord.""Rhoads family? Do you mean Chelsea?" Lilian's other hand cle
"Where are Charles and Chicago? Haven't they woken up yet?"Janna was still holding a suitcase, and without asking, one would know that besides her luggage, the suitcase undoubtedly contained gifts for Charles and Chicago.Almost every time, Janna did the same thing.As they were talking, Charles came downstairs, shuffling in his slippers.Seeing Janna, Charles froze. He had originally planned to fly away tonight.Now that he had seen Grandma Janna, it seemed he might not be able to leave.Janna ran towards Charles and scooped him up in a hug.She smothered his face with kisses, "I've missed my precious so much, haven't seen you for so long!"After showering him with several more kisses, Charles called out to Grandma Janna and then looked at Fiona.His eyes were filled with a silent plea, "Help!!"Fiona couldn't help but laugh through her tears.After 'saving' her son, she said, "Go and get Chicago. She's probably still lying in bed, refus
"What diamond?" Janna looked at Chicago with affection. "I bought a tiara that just happens to have a few diamonds on it, right Chicago?"If the tiara was from Mrs. Janna, one could count on that tiara to be completely studded with diamonds. Each of the main stones must be at least ten carats."That's a bit much," Ashton mumbled."And you," Janna said with a disapproving glance at Ashton, "I haven't seen you in months, and look what you've become."Ashton paused, taking in her current appearance. She had returned late and drunk the night before, exhausted and she fell asleep without even removing her makeup. Now, her eye makeup was smeared, the foundation was a mess all over her face, and her hair was a tangled lump..."I'm hungover!" Ashton said, then turned to run upstairs, "Wait for me a minute!""My dear, make sure you don't end up like Ashton," Janna turned back to tease Chicago.Chicago, with a dreamy smile, thinking about the wonderful dream she ha
After saying her piece, Miss Ford, with the poise of a queen, left the meeting room with the click of her high heels.Half an hour later, she submitted her resignation to HR, and soon after packed her belongings and left Solomon.Driving away from the towering Solomon building, Miss Ford paused at the roadside.She looked back at the imposing structure one last time.She had come to Solomon right after university and worked hard there for nearly a decade.Now it was time for her to embark on her next journey!Miss Ford started the car and merged smoothly into the traffic.The small incident had made its way to Fiona's ears by lunchtime. Ever since Laura's last encounter with Lilian at RH Company, Laura had become more vigilant. She'd found out that Lilian had intentionally arrived at RH Company early that day. This had raised Laura's suspicions, and she watched her even more closely.The incident that had happened earlier that day during Solomon'
Lilian looked at Darwin, her tears falling like a constant stream, her hands trembling non-stop.Darwin had never seen Lilian like this. It reminded him of her once bright and cheerful appearance. If it hadn't been for him, she wouldn't have endured such painful experiences, nor would she be in her current predicament.Seeing that Darwin remained silent, Lilian suddenly changed her demeanor, hugging her knees and shaking her head repetitively, "I'm sorry, so sorry! I shouldn't have said all that to you! Just pretend I'm under medication and talking nonsense.""Lilian, have you been seeing a psychologist lately?" Darwin walked over and sat down beside her.Lilian glanced at him, "I'm better now... I don't need to see a psychologist anymore, it's just that today, I've been a bit upset."In the last couple of days, Lilian had been fixated on one thought, If she were humiliated, would Darwin stand up for her as he did the last time he met Chelsea?As it happened,
Chapter 194 Engagement BanquetFiona was speechless. Then it seemed like she realized something." Grandma seems fixated on, now she's got her heart set on me getting married, and she's even considering someone from Chicago! I've got to have a serious talk with her!" Charles' lips pressed into a thin line as he pondered for a moment. "It seems like it was Chicago who brought it up first," he said. Fiona was slightly confused. "She brought it up?" "Yup," Charles nodded, "Chicago really liked the uncle who bought her painting last time. She probably wants to set you two up." After saying this, Charles lifted his eyelids, watching Fiona quietly, as if gauging her reaction. Fiona's face was a picture of shock, "She wants... wants that uncle to be her dad?" Charles nodded again. Then he added with a disdainful coldness, "He doesn't seem like a good person, I don't like him." Fiona looked at Charles, her hands cradling the back of his h
